Google Earth suddenly won't Launch

felixq78 · 02-26-2010, 06:21 PM

I've had Google Earth installed on Ubuntu 9.10 for several weeks and it's been fine, up until this morning.
It won't launch. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I can't remember changing anything, except for installing the usual updates.
I've tried re-installing with no change.
Your advice would be appreciated.

Reinstall it.

Or attempt to launch it via the CLI and post the output.

Oops, I read it too fast. My bad...

Launch it rom the CLI and post any error you get.

(Sorry I really didn't see that for some strange reason...)

I've just washed my little dog as well as myself, come back in and clicked on Google Earth as a matter of reflex and BINGO! It has lit up like the proverbial Xmas tree!! What in the hell is going on?
